Photographer / Photographe

About

My name is Michel Grenier, I am a photographer and musician. Photography is for me an outlet, it serves to evacuate my emotions.

I practice all forms of photography, but what connects me most is the portrait. The social aspect inherent to the profession of a portraitist I like a lot. I mostly try to highlight the people I photograph, which explains the sobriety of my prints. I am not a very directive image taker, and I really like to leave some latitude to the subjects. In a way, I take what they want to give me. As most models are not stingy with their person, I can capture the feelings of the moment and the results are generally pretty cool.

For the portrait, I work mainly in digital medium format and in argentic large format (8×10). It is a personal technical choice that brings me a lot of satisfaction and brings me closer to my old influences.
